U.S. Will Try to Deport Abrego Garcia Before He Faces Trial, Justice Dept. Says

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The plan directly contradicted the White House, which last month described as “fake news” reports of plans to re-deport Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

The Justice Department said on Monday that Trump officials would immediately begin the process of expelling Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia from the country again if he is released from custody next week on charges filed after his wrongful deportation to El Salvador in March.

That plan, laid out by a Justice Department lawyer at a hearing in Federal District Court in Maryland, directly contradicted a statement by the White House last month describing the possibility that the administration might re-deport Mr. Abrego Garcia as “fake news.” » | Alan Feuer and Minho Kim | Alan Feuer reported from New York, and Minho Kim from Greenbelt, Md. | Monday, July 7, 2025
